My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1685

Chapter 1685

Nicole answered the call through her Bluetooth earphone.

"Hello? Nicole?" the voiced asked.

"Ike?"

It had since been a long time since Nicole had gotten a call from Ike, and yet, she instantly recognized his voice.

"Hello, Miss Busy. Do you still remember me? I heard not too long ago that you've entered the entertainment industry now." Ike said on the other end of the phone, teasing Nicole with his feet propped up on his desk.

"I'm just helping a friend out with a favor. How are you doing?" Nicole asked.

"What else can I do? I'm continuing with the research after you've left, now that Scott Harmon has placed all the burden onto my shoulders," he replied.

"I'm sorry." Nicole sighed.

She had no reason to stay there.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Scott was tremendously apologetic. When he came back and found out that you’ve quit, he fired two of the employees that had given you a hard time," he explained.

"Such a thing happened?" Nicole asked, not knowing that Scott had gone back and fired those two employees.

"Well, it seems that Scott was a little too ashamed of himself to contact you personally, so he got me to do the honors instead," Ike said.

Nicole nodded. "I understand. No hard feelings. Tell him that I'm not really bothered by the issue anymore."

Nicole was quite grateful. Had it not been for the meddling of the two employees, she would not have returned to San Joto so soon and they would probably still have been stuck there trying to complete the project.

"However, Scott has heard that your research on manned flying cars is almost complete. Is it also equipped with an Al system?" Ike went straight for the throat as he got serious.

Nicole narrowed her eyes. "How did you know?"

'Logically speaking, none of the manned flying cars have been launched into the market yet, and the temporary addition of the Al system has been subject to constant changes, so... how did he find out?' she pondered.

"That's really great! Thank you, Nicole! I'll see you when I get back!"

Nicole nodded and hung up. She stared blankly at her phone for a while before storing it away, her heart filled with minor doubts.

At this time, the makeup artist, who had done makeup, said," Miss Riddle, you're gorgeous..."

"Yeah, the makeup today looks really good," Gwendolyn, who was standing at the side, said.

Nicole took a glance at herself in the mirror, and realized that she was looking better than ever. "Thank you!"

"No problem!" The makeup artist smiled.

Gwendolyn then guided Nicole onto the set to prepare for the filming of the next scene.

Lloyd was smitten by Nicole's beauty the instant he cast his eyes on her. "Nicole, you look amazing."
